So I was back!:'( I should've written this review sooner because I'm afraid I'll be leaving out some important details now but here's the summary : THIS PLACE HAS THE BEST STAFF IMAGINABLE ! Whoever does the hiring must hand pick only the nicest people. I entered the ER to a full house. I was having chest pains that lasted days & were too strong to ignore given my past health issues & family history. Immediately I was taken back thru triage & the gentleman that started checking my vitals told me I get bonus points for coming in with those symptoms. I was very nervous & crying so him saying that gave me instant comfort. This review could go on for days as my time spent there was very busy - they thoroughly checked me for ANY possible heart problem. Although I told them in recent days the stress I had been under & was convinced that's what it was, they assured me they would never write off chest pains as anxiety & must check my heart for any possible problems. & check they did! Monitors, tests, blood work, EKG's, ECG's,.. They really put my mind at ease that I wasn't dying like I thought I was when decided to go in. Ok so they're a hospital , they checked me, did their jobs & made me better,...that's not what makes them the best hospital ever IMO. What is to me is the fact that EVERY interaction from the time I walked in until the time I was discharged was PLEASANT. Not once did I feel like just another patient, even tho the hospital was filled to capacity with a rotating door of never ending patients coming & going. Even nurses or workers that would see me, whether they were assigned to my case or not would smile & offer to help in any way they could. I don't know how one could ever describe a hospital stay as pleasant but it was. The nurses & doctors & all staff members here seem to go above & beyond & CARE about you as a person , not just another patient. I had so many interactions , it's hard to remember them all but I'm going to name some names of those Wonderful souls who took such great care of me while being so NICE!: I felt like they were friends! Lol;) Maria- ER JOE , RN the ER Nurse - incredible guy with a heart of gold couldn't do enough for me. Interacted with my husband, my kids & myself & checked on us constantly keeping us informed the entire time I was waiting to be taken to a room upstairs. -HOURSSS... the place was full . I was on the 2nd floor W bldg Kathy - nurse Melissa - nurse Amy - did my pictures for the stress test Cecilia- performed the stress test along with an older Dr. L so sweet! Lori- transported me to tests Linda - Nurse Kate - asst nurse I'm sure I'm forgetting some of the other lovely folks that helped me but the ones I listed really stand out. I spoke with a couple nice drs as well unfortunately aside from dr Singh who discharged me I don't remember their names. I was too overwhelmed. I would NEVER want to be admitted to another hospital. I've had plenty of hospital interactions in my lifetime for myself as well as caring for family members -this place sticks out. The caring & kindness shown is beyond measure! AMH - Keep up the good work, angels! Thank you! read more

Abington Memorial Hospital - My 1st meal after being admitted. Had me order ASAP knowing I hadn't eaten all day. - Psychiatrists Near Me - Willow Grove, Pennsylvania

See all

I was in in the lenfest pavilion for 9 days. I can't say enough good things about the nurses ( Abby, Becca, Sam, both Jenna's, and the rest of the girls). They were all angels and I can never thank them enough read more

The situation with hospital got so much worse I might never see my mommy again because of the neglect from hospital I feel that they are very discriminative and lie when your loved one will be realeasd from this prison it's not a hospital it's a prison. They are neglecting my mom staff is rude and mock autism. Do not take your loved ones to this hospital they are terrible I have not had any contact with my mommy since last Monday we are suing for medical malpractice read more

The police were called as I have been on the most Insidious emotional roller coaster and the most unbelievable grief one can imagine from the loss of my 8-year-old granddaughter. I was lied to by the Upper Moreland police officer that I would only be there for 5 minutes just to make sure I was okay however I was literally and I swear to God I am not making this up I was put into what I refer to as a janitor closet however what it is is a Cove within the wall at the hospital right as you're leaving the ER you pass by and trust me there are people in these codes you are literally in a wall with a tiny bed and a commode next to your face You are stigmatized and treated like a piece of s*** and when I cheerfully ask for a pillow somebody threw up blanket in my face and yelled Fold It Up and this is how it is when you go through something like that loss of a child and I spent three days in this hole with no communication no phone no television no one to talk to just crying but you are not allowed to cry because then you are considered a danger to society. You would think that somebody who needs such empathy and help that somebody would have reached out or at least have a doctor speak with me and try and and at least call me down and relate to what I was and still I'm going through however I have gotten extremely worse because once they put me up into the psychiatric ward where I thought I would get some therapy and there is zero therapy except for playing with plastic children's instruments and coloring! The times I did see the pompous ass psychiatrist he had no idea nor understood that people have true emotions that are so beyond anybody's realm of anything it is so horrible that it can not fit into your mind you cannot grasp the situation so he sits there and just stares at me as I try and say what I can possibly get out and try and make them understand this is grief this is a grief this is a lost like no other. They just like to label you and try and give you medications and I've been on medications my entire life they do not work but you are not listening to you are just a subject and as the subject you are being viewed by at least five medical students during this interview and they interview you with this smile and smirk on their face as if I was some sort of project! Any person with any type of empathy towards another person or any understanding besides the one-sided View of a psychiatrist which I wouldn't even call him that he is just a stigmatizing piece of s*** I only remember his name and he went by Dr G because he had a long last name and that's what they referred him to and he was a dick he refused to listen to anything and just assumed I had some sort of Personality Disorder when in reality it is the most devastating thing somebody could go through and it is called emotions emotional grief that was all and I continue to stay there and continue to play with things in groups with a kindergarten or maybe preschool teacher where you had to be forced to participate in such embarrassing 5-year-old games rather than concentrate and focus on the devastation of my loss and I am now forever gone I can see what I am writing but my voice has changed and I have to try and cope with some sort of protective personality I developed when I get extreme constant Around the Clock 24/7 visions of my precious grandchild I have lost I cannot look at pictures I can't do anything I cannot cope with this and there is not a person in the world that can help me with this they only other people that would understand this is people who've lost a child or grandchild and I am not sure why a psychiatrist who read books to get a paper certificate to try and even have any type of concept of the reality and her that I will forever be tormented with until I cannot do this anymore they are of zero help do not go there do not do not do not find somewhere else and trust me you do not want to be in that hole in the wall that none of the staff thinks is true I told them to go down and look at it UP to this day I've never had an empathetic person towards me as far as emotional or any type of mental issue besides getting screamed at in stigmatized as if you are a garbage or a menace to society or a danger to others! They do not see you as the true self you are and you are the most empathetic I mean extreme empathetic towards others and would never harm anyone not even a fly not even this goddamn piece of s*** psychiatrist full of judgment and just a pompous a****** read more

I had a 3 day stay for surgery and cannot Say enough about the doctors, nurses and all staff. They were very attentive and pleasant. They made a difficult situation so much better with their happy attitudes and care. I would recommend this hospital to any of my family and friends! read more

I had my obgyn care and delivered my daughter at Abington Memorial Hospital and my husband and I had the most amazing experience from being checked into the triage to the day we were discharged. I loved all the nurses and doctors! They were very hospitable and communicated everything I needed or wanted to know throughout the delivery and the days after. I am especially grateful for the nurse who delivered my daughter, Liz and her assisting me to press the button for my epidural! The food is amazing and they have a great photographer who comes in to take pictures of your newborn. I would never give birth anywhere else. read more

They just don't have the staff to accommodate the large number of patients they have. Getting an ultrasound appointment took a week because they only have one person setting up appointments for the entire prenatal division. It's very difficult to actually call and speak with someone. So you have to leave a message and it takes a week to return your call. Then they didn't have any appointments for 3 weeks! The people working are so slow that they take ten minutes for every individual to check in and register. ( give your insurance card, etc). At my appointment today it took 35 minutes to register before they told me I was in the wrong place. When I got the right place they told me I had to reschedule because I was 35 minutes late! If this wasn't the only hospital near me I would never deal with them ever again read more

Got stomach surgery there the doctor and his team were good but the nurses were just awful. Every time I asked for something for the pain they would give me a hard time about it like I was a junkie trying to get my fix. This is the only hospital I have ever been too where I left in more pain then when I arrived. If you've got the choice choose somewhere else cause this place down right sucks. read more

I've had nothing but good experiences here. I've been to the ER for a tetanus shot, gotten blood work done, and had an ultrasound done. Everything was done quickly and efficiently. The staff was kind and made me feel comfortable. The decor is modern and the technology/tools are new. read more

I unfortunately, have never had to write a review of a hospital before, since I always had positive experiences. However, yesterday, my experience at Abington Hospital/Emergency Department staff, was a negative one. I understand that the pandemic has placed a tremendous amount of stress on healthcare workers and organizations, but unfortunately, when approaching the staff once to ask a question, I witnessed the staff member roll her eyes, ever so slowly get up from her chair, open the door with reluctance, and then go back to the patient to inform him to tell his family members to stop bothering the staff, and if the family didn't stop bothering the staff, they would ask the family members to leave. I was appalled. I have been a nurse since 1980, and was taught early on about the importance of public relations, advocating for the patient, and communicating with the family...no matter what!!! I hope that Abington Hospital will remind their emergency staff of the importance of a positive attitude, and friendly ongoing communication. read more

Awesome ER experience. I came in for some high HRS and BP and within a couple hours they had it all figured out. Top notch docs here. Would definitely recommend them. read more

My god where do I start these people.. it's central scheduling they are the worst! There is not a time I make an appointment! They jack it up! I was told appointment at 3 arrive at 230 .. I arrive at 230 I sit and I realize I am sitting a hour go up to receptionist at 310 after seeing people come and go .. only to be told "oh no your appointment is at 3:30". "They want you to arrive at three"! What kind of mess is that! I was so frustrated my blood pressure had to go up! The the tech that waited on me knew I was frustrated after I told her this is like the 4th time this has happened to me ! She gave me a wawa card! I am still going elsewhere if I have to have testing ! I done with Abington! I won't have a job messing with them! read more

My mother had gall, bladder surgery at Abington under the care of a surgeon. She had a great in office visit with him. However, she described the surgery as the worst experience of her life. She has always been a tough one when it comes to invasive procedures, having had multiple angioplasties. Not only was the her allergy history clearly defined by her multiple times, among which was morphine, the doctor allowed her to be given a morphine derivative. REALLY!!!! On top of it, she was not allowed to be put to sleep gently... A mask was placed over her face without her understanding what was happening and she was out in 5-6 SECONDS. She is a 73yo elderly woman, and she felt it was barbarous! She felt completely out of control and anxiety ridden. There are better ways! This happened despite our best efforts to communicate clearly to the anesthesiologist and the rest of the team of her sensitivity to medications! Where is the compassion in healthcare? It is very disturbing that little trust can now be placed in the people that drive the healthcare system in this nation! On top of it all, as much as I respect nurses, the nursing staff was louder than any patient or patient family, despite the "shh" messages all over the place. What has happened to this hospital? Med orders were all confused as well. Definitely cannot leave your wellbeing in the hands of the current hospital climate. read more

I called central scheduling to set up a catscan. I was told the appointment was 9/28 at 4 pm and to arrive two hours early to drink a prep for the test at the Warminster outpatient location. I arrived at 2pm and was told I did not have an appointment. The receptionist said my appointment was 10/1. I was very disappointed and asked if I could be accommodated since I took time out of my schedule and was given this date. She made a call to the technician but they had "shut down" for the day. The receptionist said she would have the call reviewed to see if I was right. So I leave, and when I get a home I get a call from a supervisor apologizing for the error, I indeed was correct that I was told 9/28 by the scheduler. The scheduler made the error and booked 10/1. I understand people are human and errors do occur, however this was my second "error" with this health system. And not being able to eat for half a day and waiting for a test that doesn't happen was my last straw. I do commend that I was called and told it was not my mistake. The receptionist showed no empathy for the situation. read more

I'm so sick of Abington hospital, A few weeks ago I swore I would never go back or bring my family to your horrible hospital for care (ABINGSCARE HOSPITAL)....MY EMERGENCY ROOM experience was rotten for care.... and only 2 people that actually gave a smile you can tell and it's obvious most of the employees there ONLY there to get a paycheck & I'm so glad that I made that decision because yesterday I took my daughter for an x ray*NOT*care just an x-ray and of course my daughter was misdiagnosed they told us there were two fractures so now after seeing pediatric orthopedic specialist more xrays and who knows how much in medical bills she has no fractures just another medical mess up from this Hospital....no wonder this Hospital has sooo many bad reviews read more

I was seen in Dec 21 2014 in the ER for chest pains. I told the staff I had chest pain that had gotten increasingly worse throughout the day and woke up soaked in a cold sweat. I told them there was a strong family history of heart disease (father and brother both died in their 40's of a heart attack, and I am 49). I was taken right back but left in the ER FOR THREE HOURS while they ruled out everything else like heartburn, angina etc. I was told my EKG was fine so it was perfectly OK to go down the hallway alone and use the restroom..... and was mistakenly taken for a CAT scan that was not meant for me, but for another women. Thankfully I caught the mistake before the test was done as the pain in my chest was so bad the thought of lying in a CAT scan made me sick. I was in so much pain! They apologized when I told them my name was not Anna, and took me back to the ER. Soon after they told me and my family that my blood work showed I had a heart attack and needed to go to the Cardiac Care Unit. NO KIDDING! I was still not seen by a Dr. until the next morning when they took me to the Cath lab and found two blockages, one which was 99 percent! This is a trauma, stroke, and chest center for heart attacks? Now that's Scary . read more
